Ah, Halloween—the one night a year when it’s perfectly acceptable to wear a cape and demand candy from strangers! But before we dive into the spooky treats and festive fun, let’s take a quick jaunt through Halloween’s history:
This ghoulish holiday traces its roots back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people would light bonfires and don costumes to ward off roaming spirits. The Celts believed that on this night, the veil between the living and the dead was at its thinnest, so they celebrated with festivities to honor their ancestors and keep mischievous ghosts at bay.
Over time, this ancient ritual evolved into the playful Halloween we know today, filled with trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, and costume parties.
Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party, dressing up as your favorite character, or bingeing on those leftover candies (we all know you’re doing it), there are endless ways to celebrate. To help you get into the Halloween spirit, below you’ll find a cauldron full of spooktacular recipes. And don’t let that leftover candy haunt your pantry! I’ll also share some fun recipes for incorporating it into your treats too.
